Just a tip guys, if you are hunting for little CPU eaters, built in windows task manager sucks as it rounds down to the nearest whole number... Useless in today of multi threaded apps and multicore CPU's. get process explorer, and see all those background tasks using 0.84% of your CPU https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
If you're going to reseat the cooler anyway, throw the stock one on and see what happens. That'll at least let you know whether it's the AiO or not. The XT series will likely come with a higher TDP so nobody will really know until reviews are out :S
Quoting this in case anyone has guidance as to which one is correct for an EKWB cpu block? I think i run the supremecy, but i can't for the life of me remember how it mounts
Current idle with Ryzen master now. I have performed a -0.05v offset in bios which tbh hasn't really shown much of a difference temp wise (with the fluctuations its hard to tell without logging if its actually dropped the voltage down a step for me). Current powerplan in OS is Ryzen Balanced. The good news is, Corsair agree that it seems as though the AIO pump has an issue and have offered a replacement (unfortunately as the h100i v2 is discontinued, they've offered me one of the newer replacements, but I am pushing for them to try and find some new old stock of a h100i v2 or similar as the new blocks aesthetically look like ass) Going to attempt re-seating the cooler/comparing to the stock cooler tomorrow and will check the original contact of the TIM tomorrow (back to my uni assignment for the rest of today) Made a pass of Cinebench R20 just now to see what it would do thermally. Peaked at 92c and got a score of 3320. I noticed that the CPU only clocked to 3.9ghz under 100% util compared to the spikes to 4.2ghz at idle, i assume that it would be throttling due to thermals?

Well that's good news - so it seems like it's just your AIO that's rooted. To make sure, i would try what Maldark suggested and chuck on the stock cooler to see how it performs. It's not bad and should keep well under 90c in a CR20 run.
3.9 all core boost is typical. You'll only ever see the 4.2 for short periods in bursty lightly threaded loads. Everything you've shown us is just the 3600 acting perfectly normally.
Nah, it's crap. Any Ryzen 3000 CPU should be able to sit just over 4ghz all core load. Newer ones (last few months) have been doing that easy, more like 4.2ghz all core. Example: https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/have-i-hit-the-lottery-3600-at-4-4ghz-1-285v.1282971/
So my curiousity got the better of me and i pulled the block off. The AS5 distribution was pretty good however I did notice that the EN in ryzen was visible on the lid (may have just been that the paste came off as i removed the block). Cleaned everything thoroughly and this time i tinted the block face before mating it back to the CPU (noticed some decent marks on it and tinting used to work back in the day?!) Fresh boot out of the gate I am idling at 48c. Cinebench R20 multi-threaded pass jumped up 75 points (3395) and temps didnt get above 80.5c. I seemed to have found 12-15c somewhere through reapplication (maybe an air pocket who knows). Do these temps seem more reasonable now? The only other change ive made is unchecking the bios smart fan curve and just letting the AIO do its thing whether that makes a difference or not. Temps still aren't what I would expect with a 240mm AIO though, so will persevere with Corsair and hopefully, they can find some old stock to replace this one. neRok don't say that
I'm also in Brisbane but with a 3700X. If my idle temps are 33C then under full load with Cinebench R20 they peak at 70C and 4.15 GHz all cores with PBO the only mobo setting. That is with a Noctua air cooler.
3.9Ghz at 80c is completely normal at stock settings. You're losing some speed due to temps, as they can turbo up to 4 - 4.1Ghz all core at lower temps. 80c in Cinebench is better, but still high - especially given it's on a 240 AIO. I'd be expecting to see no more than 70c. The stock 3600 cooler wil hit 80c in all-core blender/cinebench, while a 280 AIO around 60c at stock (assuming a reasonable ambient temp) - so there's still something off. 1. Have you updated your motherboard BIOS? 2. Is PBO/Auto-OC turned on in your BIOS? 3. How's your case airflow?
Try the air cooler! Because just thinking now, heat from the CPU was obviously making it into the water cooler, that's why the fluid temp was high. It is getting the heat out of the cooler that's the problem, either because it can't get it out fast enough (too much going in), or it just can't get it out. Too much you should have addressed with the power plan, so now I think you're stuck with a dud cooler. Have you checked all the USB and power connections for the cooler? Have you got the USB to the CPU1 or CPU_PUMP or similar fan header? Maybe your cooler has suffered some evap and has an air pocket, and maybe you can fix that by running PC on different angles for a while? Lol. Nah, like cbwolf says, the CPU is running as expected considering the temp conditions it finds itself in. If you get the temp sorted, you should get the good numbers.
I was thinking of seeing if rotation would show an air pocket, although being an AIO I was doubting the probability (could always blame myself with a custom loop at least). Still waiting on Corsair's response Heat chasing is taking a backseat for today's malarkey. After reseating the cooler last night I started getting bsods. Seems as though my problems have now extended to either a dud stick of ram that has suddenly decided to soft fail or a faulty dimm slot in the motherboard. So far I've tested 2 sticks and 2 slots which are good. Now to see if it's one of the other sticks. Failing that, it's a dimm and motherboard goes for RMA. Oh how I've missed PC's
cheers. doing it from my phone haha. Caselabs Mercury S3 ITX! 3900x/xhair impact 2 rads cpu and gpu block! woohoo. see how it goes!
Haha weekend? That's at least a month once he starts playing around with overclocking.... Then just decides too: XMP + PBO + 1800FCLK hehehe
